cided. so 1t Is stated, not to sanction strikes

The latest thing in the line of the live
special work to which Bradstreets deyotes
so much attention is an examination into
the workings of the Interstate Commerce
law throughout the country. Tele-
graphed summaries of interviews with
over 800 of the larger manufacturers,
shippers and merchants Of "a cities as to
she eject of the new rail rates on bust
ness are presented. These show that
there are many shippers who want
the law fairly tested, and that feeling
Of Indifference to the new rates or, in
some cases, of preference for them with
attendant conditions, is widespread. In
introducing the mass of matter which it
has gathered and boiled down, BrGdstreetS
says;
II remains to be added that the hue and
cry raised in some quarters against the In.

against section 4 thereof In particular does
